i helped myself and contacted Qtom.
This is what they replied:
Hello Robert! I have discussed the problem now with our engineering department. Unfornutately, the issue is located on the side of philips, ie our hands are tied. However, we turn to solve the conjunction with Philips. Thanks again for your feedback! Best wishes, your QToms

This is a typical complaint; The next video-clip is not automatically started in the Q-tom App.
It might also occur in other models of our 2011 range of Blue Ray players & Home Cinema systems.
We will look into this to see if we can solve this. (I filed a BUG report).

TIP:
Make sure you have the latest software in your device.
Go to the www.p4c.philips.com website, search for your model number and download the latest version if not already present in your device.
